Welcome to the Mōkau School Website
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the Mōkau School website. Mokau School is a decile 2 school that overlooks the Tasman Sea and the snow capped Mount Taranaki. We are situated one hour north of New Plymouth and one hour south of Te Kuiti on the edge of the mighty Mokau River at the boundary between the Waikato and Taranaki.
This website is designed to be a source of information, and is also intended to share the passion for learning that makes our school excellent.
An outstanding learning environment doesn't "just happen". The working partnership and support between child, parent, and teacher is pivotal to our successes, because "Together We Can Do It". Please remember this simple motto empowers all we do here at Mokau School.
Our motto is looked at as 3 core pieces;
TOGETHER WE CAN DO IT
Together –We develop respectful, inclusive partnerships with all
We Can – We are self believers who compete and achieve
Do It – We are motivated, confident explorers
Parents are encouraged to maintain a close contact with the school and its teachers. Teachers welcome the opportunity to discuss a child's progress with the parents. I hope you and your children enjoy your time at Mokau School.
Arohanui,
Maryann Symonds
Principal
